• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Is there a site that can tell me how many of a particular year spyder was made?

As the title says, I am wondering is there a site where we can find out how many of a particular model and color was made? There is one for my lightning and there was one for my cobra. My thought is that there should be one for the spyders also. I just picked up a 2016 F3 Limited Special series and am curious to see how many more are around. I loved those when they first came out, but my money put me into a F3T. I loved that bike, but came across a deal on the Special series that I could not resist, so I bought it and sold my F3T. Now I am looking to see how many are out there. I have seen none in my area, but I am sure there must be a number somewhere.
BTW, here is my new scoot with barely 3700 miles, and yes I am very happy.:D

So, what do the numbers mean? Is one of them the build number? Just wondering how rare (if at all), this particular bike is. I know they made some later models with similar color scheme (matte finish and black chrome wheels), but I know the 2016 was considered a Limited and Special Series (graphics on the frunk lid). I don't think they did that after 2016. They also had a special series in the 2016 F3S, and the 2016 RT. 2015 also had a special edition, but it was easier to notice because of the different color panels and the wheels (and a shorter windshield).

What do the numbers mean Its a unique identifier of your machine.
Any dealer should be able to decrypt them for you.

As far as your other questions. No Idea.
 
As far as "rare" particular models go...I do not believe it will have any effect on value. Only to collectors, and I do not know of many collectors who are interested in Spyder.

Serial #1...given to Jay Leno for his collection is a good example. Last I heard he donated to a worthy vet. And...there is some controversy over the "actual" #1. Discussed recently in another thread.

A few attempts have been made by BRP.

"Specials" with color schemes and not much else. Anyone remember the RSS "clown color" Spyder?

The "triple black" that was introduced in Sturgis. The thought was they were going to convert the Victory and HD riders with that one. I don't think it happened.

The 10th Anniversary edition...trick paint job and special markings. Had to be "special ordered." Four reported on here and I am guessing less than 10 made. A couple were up for sale and took a long time to move on this site. And...they were not priced out of touch.

As far as I know, such data does not exist as you requested. We know they have made over 100,000 because that was touted when it happened. Based on the number of years it took for that milestone, I am guessing around 10K or less per year (all models).

The Spyder is a good machine. I have had a total of seven. Been with them since day one. I don't see them becoming a collector anything though.

:popcorn:

Yep, I get what you are saying. I don't think they will be collector items at all. I was just curious. For instance, there was a list of how many ford Lightnings of each color were made in each year. Samething for the 03 & 04 terminator mustang. I had a 2003 terminator convertible and found out that there were only about 117 of that color combination produced. I don't think it made it more valuable, but it was just some additional information that I had.
I am currently on spyders number 4 & 5. I have been very satisfied with them all. The only one that I ever had any real issue with was my 2012 RSS. It had a module go bad on the transmission that would not let it shift up or down correctly. I also did not like the excess heat given off from them. But if I ever got to where I could not ride 2 wheels, I would probably pick up another RSS to give me that go fast, sport bike riding feel.
Thanks for the information guys.

Don't forget the 2021 Sea to Sky with it's special Himalayan Green paint scheme in honor of the background colors of the sea to sky highway! I inferred from their marketing that the Sea to Sky was a one year special model, but 2022 proved me wrong with the blue S2S, guess they're honoring the blue skies of the sea to sky highway this year! What will 2023 bring, a dark grey on honor of the Hwy 99 pavement :roflblack:
 
Found this today, not quite all the info you wanted, but interesting

Thanks for posting this. I like to look over the current, and past lineups. I usually try to get a book from the dealerships showing the information for each year model. It has been hard getting one since 2018 (I think my last year was 2017). Seems like they did the color combination on the F3T in 2017 & 2018.
